How much pocket money should my child bring?
The course fee paid fully covers everything for your child whilst they are with us.
Should your child wish to purchase souvenirs, sweets and any extra refreshments then we would recommend no more than £50 per week – there will be a small tuck shop available at certain times for pupils to purchase pre-packed snacks, sweets, crisps, drinks as well as drinks and fruit in the boarding houses, and on trips there will be a chance to do some personal shopping.
Our staff will keep their pocket money safe and together with their passport and flight tickets during their stay.
What happens if my child is ill?
Parents are asked to complete a medical consent form prior to the start of the course so that we
are authorised to take care of your child quickly and correctly should they require medical attention.
If it’s a cold or another mild illness then they will be encouraged to continue to participate unless they don’t feel well enough. In that situation they would be asked to remain in their room with their meals being taken to them. Our staff would take care of them there until they feel well enough to join in fully again.
In the event of injury or more serious illness, our experienced staff will assess your child’s condition and decide if they need to see a doctor or visit the local hospital for treatment. We make every effort to contact parents / guardians beforehand.
